Special characteristic
  • Contains sulphites

Selective manual harvest of overripe grapes. Gentle pressing followed by fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel. Fermentation was stopped early through cooling to preserve some residual sweetness.

Medium gold. Pure, precise and fine on the nose, with exotic, spicy aromas. Rich and concentrated, yet pure, refined and highly elegant on the palate, with tremendous interplay of dense fruit, spice, and minerality. Herbal and floral notes on the finish. A wine with a great future ahead of it.

Shimmering red and insanely steep, Ürziger Würzgarten is a unique amphitheatre of vines overlooking the River Mosel. Although it abuts the vineyards of Erden, Ürziger Würzgarten yields a completely different kind of fine wine, exhibiting plentiful notes of exotic spice as well as outstanding depth. In some years, Würzgarten Rieslings will also take on an aniseed or even slightly Gewürztraminer-like characteristic. Weathered red volcanic and slate terroir is what makes Würzgarten so unique on the Mosel. High ferrous content of this soil lends the vineyard its vivid red colour. 'Urglück' is the name of the plot from which this GG was sourced, located in the original part of the Würzgarten vineyard, up the slope directly behind the village.
